Absolutely, yes, non-sporty guys find their people at Denison. My athlete kid’s inner circle of friends was composed of a bunch of teammates plus a bunch of other guys who did not play any sports but were in acapella, student leadership, service etc. They had become friends through classes, dorms etc. and stayed close through 4 years. Arts are also big on campus, and my kid went to student dance, theatre, music performances to support his friends. Plus, visiting artists, especially in music, are amazing.
Edited to add – what is most distinctive about Denison’s campus culture is that students are involved “across” types so athletics, arts etc. is just one part of a student’s life on campus. My kid’s circle included kids living at the Homestead (the organic farm/living community), hip-hop dancers/choreographers, and social justice activists.
